Climate extremes and challenges to infrastructure development in coastal cities in Bangladesh

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2015
Most of the coastal cities in Bangladesh are situated on the riverbanks of low-lying tidal zones at an average elevation of 1.0–1.5 m from the sea level.

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Typhoons and the inequalities of Philippine society and history

, 2016
Cyclonic storms have helped shape the character of particular regions and areas in the Philippines. But typhoons have not affected all people and all areas in the archipelago equally.

Modulation of wind drag by tidal currents in an embayment

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Tidal currents modulate how wind energy enters the surface wave field by influencing both wave drag and wave generation. In Shark Bay, following currents reduce effective wave steepness and wind drag, and opposing currents enhance wave growth. Wind energy is partitioned between wave drag and the creation of new waves, explaining observed tidal ...

Characterization of synoptic environment for mesoscale convective systems over South Korea using ERA5 reanalysis data

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this study, the synoptic conditions for modes of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in South Korea are generalized based on composite analysis. The preferred precipitation region, synoptic patterns, moisture transport, sea surface temperature and thermodynamic and dynamic instabilities are characterized according to four modes: convective cells (CC)

Mangroves can provide protection against wind damage during storms

, 2013
Research has established that mangroves can protect lives and property from storms by buffering the impacts of storm surges. However, their effects in attenuating wind velocity and providing protection from wind damage during storms are not known.

Instability-Driven Benthic Storms Below the Separated Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current in a High-Resolution Ocean Model [PDF]

, 2018
Benthic storms are important for both the energy budget of the ocean and for sediment resuspension and transport. Using 30 years of output from a high-resolution model of the North Atlantic, it is found that most of the benthic storms in the model occur ...

Exploiting Aeolus winds in a regional numerical weather prediction model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Aeolus measured winds have proven to be beneficial for global models. However, demonstrating positive impact for limited‐area models has been a challenge so far. For the first time, we have demonstrated a statistically significant positive impact of Aeolus winds in a limited‐area model by using the 4DVar data assimilation technique and the most recent ...
